by Schroen, Gary
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This was a good read. I understand due to the classified nature of details something were left out. This was written as a daily narrative of a forward operating manager in the CIA. It was really cool to get a glimpse of some of the things that occur ...
 
The Forever War (Vintage)
by Dexter Filkins
Amazon Price: $10.20
Customer Review: "The Forever War" reads more like a memoir than dry reportage. Dexter's record of his time spent in Afghanistan and Iraq from 1998 to 2006 is non-judgemental. He allows experiences and conversations with soldiers, insurgents, and civilians to speak f...

Jarhead: A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles
by Anthony Swofford
Amazon Price: $10.20
Customer Review: This book is simply OK. From what I can tell it chronicles fairly well what Swofford's experience was indeed like. However, it isn't engaging or in depth enough to really warrant close reading. I feel like I could have just read the Wikipedia entry f...

Invisible War: The United States and the Iraq Sanctions
by Joy Gordon
Amazon Price: $33.63
Customer Review: What can possibly sound more benign than "economic sanctions" when talking about a means of projecting national will on another nation? Certainly not "carpet bombing" or "shock and awe". Yet it's possible that the casualties inflicted on Iraq by US-...

There are already so many well-written reviews here that I'll make mine brief. I'll also keep my views on the Gulf Wars to myself.

I read this book, and Clancy's earlier Into The Storm: A Study in Command (Commander Series), becaus...
 
M1 Abrams vs T-72 Ural: Operation Desert Storm 1991 (Duel)
by Steven Zaloga
Amazon Price: $12.21
Customer Review: As a former M1A1 tanker, not a Gulf vet, I found this is a good, brief overview of the duel between these vehicles. The technical info was interesting, i.e. weapons systems, ammo, etc. The actual engagement descriptions were not detailed, giving a br...
